I was alone a lot dad worked his fancy job as a detective. He knew I was fine though, lonely but fine. I had my own car and was always on time to school, sometimes I was even early. I sigh fixing my hair before walking into the apartment. I froze seeing my dad there not from fear but from shock. "Dad what are you doing how" I jingle my keys before putting them in my bag my eyes on him the whole time. "I need you to be very honest with me and tell me where you were last night" I look at him confused "here you know this we saw each other" "before that" "uh I went out with Emilia why" "I have been suspended" "why" I gasp out "they think I killed Lonnie" "but you were here" "yep so if" "wait you think I" "personally don't think you would have it in you Emilia on the other hand but I just if you did and I needed to protect you" I knew dad would lie for me, he would do anything he could for me. I shook my head "no we went for ice cream" "it's the middle of winter that's the worst alibi" I roll my eyes smirking "it's true though I had lemon sorbet and Emilia had classic vanilla bean do I need to continue" I rush out causing him to laugh, he pulls me to him holding me close "I didn't think you did I just knew you hated him as much as me so I had to ask" I nod "so is it to soon to throw a party over the fact his dead" "its been like four hours yes it's to soon also I'm a suspect don't think to many innocent people would throw a party over someone dying" "so cancel the food order" "what did you order" "just some chips, nuggets, pizza and now Emilia is asking if you killed someone" "I'm going to say yes it will help my rep" dad snorts "you don't have a rep Emilia is your only friend" "that's because it's super uncool to have a cop parent also we are weird that could be the main reason I don't know" a knock on the door made me let out a little squeal before looking at my dad who nodded towards my room.
Jokes on him i hid in the kitchen cabinet. I could hear him talking to someone before he moved closer to where I was "Shazam" I said rolling out "what have you been there the whole time" he was clearly unamused "uh huh" "how did you fit in there" "you know I ask myself that I'm recently discovering how much of a contortionist I can be" I said getting up "oh hi" I said waving to the man before turning to dad "you have friends" "I have many friends Alice" dad rolls his eyes putting his arm over my shoulder and leading me to the man. "Al meet my daughter Alice Alice meet Al" "I normally go by Ally although I could go by Al too if we want to confuse people and then there's ice for all my gangster friends" "you have one friend" "some days we are really feeling the Ice others it's ally" I shrug smiling. "Apparently I'm not cool but that's ok Emilia thinks I'm cool" I inform Al "I have told you many times you are" "he just wants me to tell him how cool he is" I muse "wait is he here does he think you killed Loni" "she knows" "oh she knows more than you think" Dad mused "also smarter than he thinks" I sat down on the couch causing dad to sigh "why is there a bunch of images of loni oh my god is that oh" I said starting to freak out dads eyes widen before he rushes over closing the file to stop me looking at a dead body "I think I'm scarred for life oh my god do I have to are my eyes bleeding I feel like my eyes are bleeding" I ramble "his dead less then thirty minutes ago you were planning a party to celebrate the fact his dead" "doesn't mean I want to see his body" I exclaim loudly "ok just how about you go to your room so I can talk to Al" I sigh "not like I just saw a dead body" "we can talk about it later ok" I sigh shrugging "ok fine" I said walking away "nice to meet you al" add before rushing off to my room.
I lay on my bed sighing dad opened the door the glow of the outside light illuminating my dark room. "Are you going to go to jail" I said quietly I heard him sigh before coming over. "That I don't know but you know what I'm going to do" "no" "I'm going to do everything I can to figure it out you know I came home so to have me go to jail they have to talk to you" "but you don't like people knowing about me" he smiles "I do...think the whole of canaryville know about you I just get scared if I share you with everyone one of those people might take advantage of your kind heart" he sat beside my bed "do you work for bad people" "no I never want you to think cops are bad ok you hear me if anything happens trust the cops" I nod he strokes my hair "I probably wouldn't be in the unit I am in if it weren't for you" I look at him confused "Emilia's dad Antonio got me into the unit" I nod "if anything ever happens you ask them to call me or intelligence ok they may not all be the best but they would help you especially now that Al knows you" "I promise" "are some of your team bad" "that I don't know yet" I smile at him "can you trust them you told me that was the most important thing while you were we overseas" "I can trust enough of the rest I don't know yet but it's still early days I'm still working on it" "as long as your safe" I said making him nod "always and I'm not going anywhere" i sleepily smile at him "get some sleep kiddo" he kisses my head "what will happen to me if they take you away" "they not going to take you away" he assured me before walking away.
